To achieve Defra approval, a stove must undergo rigorous tests. If it passes the test, it is awarded the official title DEFRA stoves for sale Smoke Exempt Appliance.

Stoves that are Defra-approved can only burn approved fuels, and of course wood. They must perform the task efficiently and with little smoke. This is because these stoves are able to achieve the very latest combustion technology that prevents any combustibles that are part-burned from going up the chimney, and consequently into the air.

This is a high-quality stove that also meets the coming Eco Design 2022 regulation.

Eco Design Ready

Eco Design regulations are a crucial component of the UK Clean Air Policy of the Government. These regulations were put in place to limit harmful emissions from wood-burning stoves across the UK. It is now illegal to manufacture an entirely new wood burning stove that does not comply with the Ecodesign regulations. Stoves that are already in the supply chain can continue to be sold, but from 2022 all new installations will need to be Eco Design compliant.

As we are a Stove Industry Alliance member, we stock a variety of Eco Design approved wood-burning stoves. These stoves have been tested independently to ensure that they emit less levels of particulates than open fires. In addition to this, SIA Eco Design approved stoves have been proven to produce 80percent less CO2 emissions compared to an open fire.

The test process involves the measurement of particulate (PM), organic gases (OGC), and nitrogen oxides. You can be assured that an approved SIA Eco Design stove has been designed to minimize the production of these harmful chemical.

Eco Design Ready stoves must meet lower emission levels in all tests. They also must have a higher fuel efficiency and produce less harmful by-products. Our Eco Design approved wood burning stoves are fitted with the latest combustion techniques, such as secondary air supply and catalytic convertors, which assist in limiting the emission of harmful gases in operation.

Eco Design stoves are not just better for the environment but also more cost-effective to operate. This is because Eco Design stoves use less fuel to generate the same amount of heat.
